need help to leave an abusive house
so I feel shitty doing this but to put it simply I need money to move out of my parents house. my dad is an abusive narcissist and I am terrified of him, have been for at least fifteen years (I’m 25). I wont go into the triggery details of his treatment of me, but things have been escalating lately and tonight he tried to kick me out of the house, although my mom won’t allow that. my mom is, after things he said about her tonight, pretty solidly in my corner, but cannot afford to support me financially. On Wednesday (October 28) I will be speaking to my counselor about the possibility of a group home, as I have no relatives who can take me in. However I’m sure I’ll still need money to survive and I cannot currently work any of the very limited jobs in this rural area because of my disabilities, and I am only at the very beginning of a lengthy and expensive application process to receive disability benefits. I’m currently trying to start an Etsy shop, so I can use the skills I do have that aren’t suited for a traditional job, but with my housing up in the air and only $90 to my name (not enough to pay all the business registration and bank fees), that’s currently on hold.
I’m transgender so this limits my access to group homes, as most around here are Christian organizations that may be no more accepting than my dad is. (though I’m not out to him, he would possibly literally kill me if he knew).
so here’s the part I feel incredibly guilty about, because I was raised to not ask for money if I didn’t work for it. my paypal link is paypal.me/williamthepsychic. donations of any size would be helpful. if you’re donating $10 or more and would like something in exchange, I can draw something for you, examples are in my /tagged/will-draws That link shows my birth name so I’m uncomfortable posting it, but I don’t know what else to do.
thank you for reading this and signal boots are also greatly appreciated.
